Georgia Grows

Here’s the first member of the Spring Stitchette group, Georgia Grows…

They say Spring is here, even in Chicago. I’ll have to take their word for it. We were in the basement all day yesterday packing and sorting. This was the first hard core packing we’ve done and I started to get pretty panicked about how much there is to do. I think I’ll go back to ignoring it for a few more weeks. Fiddle-dee-dee.

How sweet and spring-like! Spring has arrived here though it’s not too warm in the shade yet. Cherry trees are blossoming and today when my daughter comes back from school I’m going to giver her an apron and gardening set just like in your Stitchette.

We went to the park yesterday. It looked like Spring looking at all the trees with their barely sprouting foliage. It felt more like the middle of summer with how hot it was. My son had the reddest face after playing for about 30 minutes because it was so hot here. I made him sit in drink water every so often. I guess we never really got winter in San Diego this year.

I love her, she’s so darling Hilary! Cannot wait for the next batch of Stitchettes!
We’ve completely bypassed Spring here in So. Cal. and headed straight into Summer. Hot hot hot. I long for daffodils, irises and wonderful tissue papery Icelandic poppies.
Packing is the all time worst chore!

I’m about 30 minutes north of you and if I look very closely in my garden, I can see the first shoots of my spring bulbs. The other sign of spring I saw yesterday is the families with little kids at the park playing on the swings.

it’s the first time I visit your blog.It’s beautiful .You make so kind little things…I’m sorry my english isn’t so good but I’ve been a long time without practice !! I’ll be back soon to see your creations !!

Great detail! I just noticed the crocs this morning!
We moved six times in the first five years of marriage. I think the one good thing about packing is getting rid of stuff you don’t need, or want anymore.
